Temporarily silence the startup sound
Authored by: deleted_user18 on Mar 18, '03 03:59:28AM

Just stop shutting down your Mac every night ;-)

This is Unix, no need for shutdowns (except some software updates). An iMac uses <3W in standby so this is probably less than your TV or your DECT-phone base station.

Ah, but for laptops, there are good reasons to shut down at times ... so this is quite useful when you want to startup in the middle of a red eye flight without waking up the entire plane ;-).

My flat panel iMac needs about 20W in standby :(
